This tree-climbing crab is the largest land-dwelling crab, with delicious meat and rich nutrition.

There are a great many bizarre animals and plants living on Earth, and today I am going to introduce one of them to you. This animal is the largest land-dwelling crab on Earth.

Its name is the coconut crab, and at its largest it can grow to one meter long, while its weight can reach as much as 12 jin. This crab mainly lives in the tropical rainforests of the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific.

When they are young, they live in the sea, and after reaching adulthood they choose to live on land, especially on coconut trees. They like to climb trees, and they also like to pick coconuts to eat.

The coconut crab got its name because of this behavior: the opening it tears in a coconut is very smooth and even. This coconut crab has a very long lifespan, and its meat is extremely delicious, and it is a hundred times more nutritious than ordinary crabs.
